The scriptures dwell in duality. Be beyond all opposites, Arjuna: anchored in the real, and free from all thoughts of wealth and comfort. As unnecessary as a well is to a village on the banks of a river, so unnecessary are all scriptures to someone who has seen the truth. You have a right to your actions, but never to your actions’ fruits. Act for the action’s sake. And do not be attached to inaction. [2.48–52] Self-possessed, resolute, act without any thought of results, open to success or failure. This equanimity is yoga.
